The input voltage of the VIN pin is continuously monitored if the device is not in shutdown mode. UVLO only stops or starts the converter operation. The UVLO does not impact the core logic of the device. UVLO avoids a brownout of the device during device operation. In case the supply voltage on the VIN pin is lower than the negative-going threshold of UVLO, the converter stops its operation. To avoid a false disturbance of the power conversion, the UVLO falling threshold logic signal is digitally de-glitched.

If the supply voltage on the VIN pin recovers to be higher than the UVLO rising threshold, the converter returns to operation. In this case, the soft-start procedure restarts faster than under start-up without a pre-biased output.
